Following the successful 2024 combine in Manchester that prepared the U16 and U18 men and women for their respective FIBA Youth EuroBasket, Division B tournaments, the British Basketball Federation has announced its partnership with Basketball Wales for the upcoming 2025 preparations.
The combine, an invitation-only selection day, is a testament to the continuously high standards that the BBF along with its Home Country Associations uphold.
Players selected to attend the combine will be able to showcase their talents and future development potential to GB coaches in what is the first step on the road to FIBA Youth EuroBasket next summer. The combine will be an important part of selection for the final squads for the GB Youth teams.
For some U16 players, it will mark their first time playing in Great Britain colours.
Players who have been selected to attend the combine will receive an invitation via email before 5 December.
The announcement of the coaches, to be made in the coming weeks, will further elevate the anticipation for the Combine.
“The GB Youth Teams combine that we held in 2024 was a great success, allowing us to see more of our talented British players on court at the same time, but also to have the opportunity to start building towards the summer fairly early.
“I’m really looking forward to the 2025 combine and would like to say a massive thank you to Basketball Wales for hosting us in Cardiff this year.”
